Toys for Nauru..

As Christmas has been getting closer, and the low level hum of panic started to turn in to a roar, I have taken some time to step back, have a reality check, and get things in perspective.
While we are far from wealthy, and most weeks I count every bean to make it to the next pay check, I know we have it good.

I live in a safe secure house, with no threat of violence or persecution.
My children live in a country where they have access to education and health care.
We can sleep at night, knowing that we are safe, and will wake in the morning, still safe.
My heart can barely stand the thought of me or my loved ones being so unsafe and scared that we have to leave our country, face perilous journeys to seek asylum in a foreign country. And once there being treated like criminals, or worse.
It breaks my heart to think of anyone being treated this way.
And ashamed that my own country, instead of welcoming and protecting such vulnerable people, locks them in such inhumane conditions.

About Me

Welcome! I'm a mum of 2 boys,who is lucky enough to live in a gorgeous sea side town. I'm a library assistant at my local library, who gets paid to read stories, sing songs and get crafty with preschoolers. Ace I know! But mostly I'm dreaming of getting crafty, crochet/knitting/felting/anything!
This is a space for me to share my creative endeavours, write down some thoughts that wander my way and generally have fun. I hope you enjoy your visit.
